I was just on navister.com and it sounds like ford is staying with the International engines. There contract was said to be through 2012 Sounds like something new for 2002? Good to hear the information.

Had the good god almighty startled from me at a D----e dealer when I was looking at new trucks! Had a salesman come over,he looks over at my F-250 PSD,and says "You know Ford is going to the C-----s soon."I jumped all over that with" Why in the ---- would they do that!" Left promptly. Next 2 or 3 Ford dealers laughed when I brought it up! Heard the same thing,they are keeping things as they are with a few changes.

Thank the Truck Gods, The international diesel is a great motor with good "useable power" and economy. International is a market leader and will be able to deliver a sound product for years to come. I feel Ford needs to make Quality Job 1 Quality Job 1 again. With the new GM truck, I know this will make the Ford a better Truck. I know Dodge is having problems again, but Hopefully they will survive and give Ford a run for there money. Which will make Ford a better product again.

The new engine(s) are scheduled for CY 2002, which probably means model year 2003.

This is a good topic for the General Diesel forum, so I'll move it to there.
